Generator
Some surgical instruments (e.g., colonoscopes) may allow substantial leakage
current which could burn the surgeon. If the instrument manufacturer
recommends the use of a shunt cord (s-cord) to direct the current back to the
generator, you must also use a Valleylab E0507-B adapter. To avoid a REM
alarm, you must use a REM patient return electrode with the E0507-B adapter.
Warning
Electric Shock Hazard: Connect the generator power cord to a properly
grounded receptacle. Do not use power plug adapters.
Fire Hazard: Do not use extension cords.
The instrument receptacles on this generator are designed to accept only one
instrument at a time. Do not attempt to connect more than one instrument at a
time into a given receptacle. Doing so will cause simultaneous activation of the
instruments.
Caution
Do not stack equipment on top of the generator or place the generator on top of
electrical equipment. This is an unstable configuration and does not allow for
adequate cooling.
When using a smoke evacuator in conjunction with the electrosurgical generator,
place the smoke evacuator a distance from the generator and set the generator
volume control at a level that ensures that the activation tones can be heard.
Provide as much distance as possible between the electrosurgical generator and
other electronic equipment (such as monitors). An activated electrosurgical
generator may cause interference with them.
Do not turn the activation tone down to an inaudible level. The activation tone
alerts personnel when an accessory is active.
Nonfunction of the generator may cause interruption of surgery. A backup
generator should be available for use.
Notice
If required by local codes, connect the generator to the hospital equalization
connector with an equipotential cable.
Connect the power cord to a wall receptacle having the correct voltage.
Otherwise, product damage may result.
